Traditional Japanese Wedding

My Co-worker/Mentor's wedding in Toyokawa. She was a very beautiful traditional Japanese bride, but she also let her personality shine through as you can see in the pictures. I really enjoyed the ceremony as this was the first wedding ceremony in which I participated.

Another trip to Nagoya??

Of course, one can never tire of the big city. There was just so much to explore and today was one of the exploring days that Annie and I decided to take advantage of.

There was a discounted ticket if you buy one from Toyohashi station to Nagoya station, so that's what we did. There is also an all day subway pass on the weekends if you want to purchase that as well.
We decided to check out some different stops on the subway line in Nagoya. I have often loved the concept of just stopping at every stop and just going out to explore the neighborhood around the area. Every stop has it's own personality and secrets to unlock. If you ever have the chance, I suggest just stopping at every stop, even if just for a bit, and going out to explore the surrounding areas for a bit.

As seen in the picture we saw a nice display in a station to show people how to properly recycle. Recycling in japan is mandatory and can be complicated for the typical foreigner. 




We were then off to Osukanon the technology/anime district of Nagoya. There are a lot of shops that sell old games, computers, and clothes. It's a great place to spend the day if you've never been there. It's also located to a lot of other interesting places that you can check out. We decided to check out Nagoya station after Osukanon. It was beautiful at night and there are so many shops underground that I sometimes forget there is a world above the shops. If you're a pokemon fan there's also a pokemon center that is a must check out.
